Accessibility - Use of Color
Tip: When using text and want to draw attention to a word or phrase, you can use color but always provide an additional visual cue, such as an icon, text label, bold text, shape, or pattern (e.g. striped, solid). Color must not be the only way to convey information.
Why it matters: Color can be used to convey information but people with vision impairment, including people who are blind, people with low or limited vision, and people with color blindness will experience color differently.
How to do it: Combine color with text labels or symbols.
Example:
X Items in red are required
✔ Required items are marked required and shown in red.
